WHAT. THE. HEAVEN. IS. THAT. BEAUTY??? I can't believe this comes from a kalimba, never thought you could pull that kind of melody out of it, it's so awesome, it makes me want to master my own kalimba! Thanks for sharing your amazing compo, sir. That will go straight into my favs!
If you decide to get one, you should check out the different tunings on it. The persian/middle eastern tunings are utterly gorgoues. You can put beads across the tines to get a nice buzz too! I was floored when I got it too at how much depth this instrunent has! There are the traditional african kind that sound more plucky and buzzy, and the ones in North America have a more soft, fairy tale sound to them. Even in that there is such variety, as you can get wooden ones with or without a front or rear sound holes, or acrylic ones that sound particularly soft and fairy tailish. It's really quite a beautiful musical world to explore :)
Hi Mark! It´s a 30 year old Hugh Tracey Treble Kalimba, modified by myself. Order and tuning refer to an article written in "African Music" by Andrew Tracey describing the poular Kalimba tuning in Harare of the late 1960th. I just shifted the tuning to A major and applied some soft rattles. The keys (from left to right) are: g#*, c#, f#*, b, e*, a, a2*, C#, A d*, D, e*, E, f#*, F#, g#*, G#. All Characters in Capitals are one Octave lower, all keys marked with * are bend up in Sansula style.
Hi Josh Burns! The Kalimba I am playing is a modified "Hugh Tracey treble Kalimba" with resonator. It is very common all over the world and you will get a new one for about € 120.- I modified my Kalimba and brought it to a a major tuning. Details about this you will find in my answer to the comment of "Kalimbamagic" one year ago.
This piece was so beautiful. I bought an catania 8-note kalimba at Goodwill a few weeks ago, and it's been life changing - music for the soul. I taught myself to play by plucking the keys during meditation. I "feel" the notes and I write them down. I was learning to play the guitar but the kalimba is so much easier and a little painful on the fingers.. (ouch!) but worth the callouses that will eventually develop. I love this instrument!
I will hear this hundreds of times as I come back to this. I am in awe, I'm moved, I'm inspired. Such a unique performance, and every one is beautifully in sync. I hope someday I can solo a tune that makes magic like this. I love his kalimba's sound.
Such a beautiful song. It elicited such an emotional response from me that I cried. The sounds take me away to a starry night where spirits of the past are dancing in the wind. Thank you for this!
I loved it!!!! 👩🏾⚖️ Who knew that such a small box instrument like the kalimba could play such beautiful music. I'm so glad that I to own such an instrument. Fantastic, loved it great music, well done. 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾😊
Hi Conner, believe it or not I am Hugh Tracey's great grandchild and I love seeing vidoes of people playing the Kalimba because the sound is so beautiful and Claming I love this video 😁👍
That was amazing! I just recently bought a Kalimba, and I could play songs in A minor, C major, F major, D minor, G major and E minor. I couldn’t play like you did. That was terrific!
BRAVOooooo !!! insanı rahatlatan bir enstruman kaç tekrar izledim bilmiyorum gerçekten çok çokkk usta eller adamlar müziği ruhlarında hissediyor sanat bu ama diğer yandan dikkatimi çeken ise orada belki binlerce dinleyen insan var sanata ve sanatçıya o kadar saygılı o kadar sanatsal bir kitle ki icra edilen eser bitene kadar nefes almadan dinlediler ne bir ıslık çalan , ne alkış tutan , nede konuşan veya bağıran çıkmadı ve sonra dönüp kendimize baktım :) biz gerçekten sanattan anlamıyoruz anlamadığımız gibi ne sanata nede onu icra eden insanlara o sanatçı ruhlara zerre saygı duymuyoruz bilmiyorum ama bana göre bir yerde bir sanat icra ediliyorsa çok sevsen dahi bitene kadar alkışlama , eşlik etme kapat gözünü ruhunda hisset o müziği, o anı yaşa bozma büyüsünü bana göre sanatçıyı eseri icra esnasında alkışlamak sanki sevmekten değilde sabote etmek içinmiş gibi geliyor ıslık alkış eşlik bırakın da işinin ehli olanlar yapsın :) belki de ben sanattan anlamıyorum :))
Is this your own composition?It is very beautiful.I loved the lady with the castanets, too,especially how she just rose up out of the shadows, at first.It complemented your playing like a hand in a glove.
Finally somebody who knows how to play this thing! Respect.
Hey man!! Love your vids!! But yeah, this dude is MAD on the kalimba!!
Kalimba is beautiful, but it isn't extremely hard to learn :)

Brings me back to my very old abandoned home... No words can describe this time travel experience. I feel Thankful and connected...
This is a big punch both in my kalimba approach and... in the fingers of this musician! Huge respect.
This is the kind of instrument you'd hear them play at a spa or massage place. So soothing
To the lady at the back… did you bring your instrument? Yes I brought my fucking hands
the Ludovico Einaudi of thumb pianos. So beautiful, gotta get me one
Wow never imagined a kalimba could sound like this!
I keep coming back to watch this. It is just so beautiful. Very good all of you. 😊
Such a beautiful song.
It elicited such an emotional response from me that I cried.
The sounds take me away to a starry night where spirits of the past are dancing in the wind.
Thank you for this!
These are human beings at their best! Making beautiful music. Cooperating so that the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Bringing joy to others.
Extremely beautiful!!! Words can't describe the ecstasy that this tune has elevated me to.
This is my favourite Kalimba playing ever! I come to watch this from time to time since I first started playing Kalimba. It’s another level though! ❤️
This is the TRUE essence of music.
It's a song that really goes to war. I really like the karimba.
Thank you! Maybe the best 5 Minutes i spend on TH-cam so far :)
Oh my god, what a pleasure! Thanks for listening!

Hi Eli, it is a 17 key original Hugh Tracey Alto Kalimba- ab bit modified, obviously ;-)

I always come back to watch this.

This is so beautiful - thanks for sharing!
